Fun Facts

Fern Canyon is located within the Redwood National and State Parks, which are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their ancient redwood forests.

The trailhead is named for the lush ferns that cover the canyon walls, creating a unique and verdant landscape.

Scenes from 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' were filmed in Fern Canyon, showcasing its prehistoric ambiance.

The ideal time to explore Fern Canyon is during the summer months when the weather is dry and the trails are more accessible.

Visitors might spot Roosevelt elk, black bears, and various bird species while hiking the trail.

The canyon was formed over thousands of years by Home Creek, which continues to shape its landscape today.
